Slovak Land Fund Offers Public Access to Property Records for Ancestral Land Claims

Thousands of people in Slovakia can now check a public database maintained by the Slovak Land Fund (SPF) to verify whether they may have inherited land from their ancestors. The land registry allows citizens to search for properties that may have been passed down through family lines, potentially helping them discover ancestral land holdings they were unaware of. The Slovak Land Fund, a state institution that manages agricultural and other state-owned land, has made this database accessible to help people identify potential inheritance claims and clarify property ownership.
